Lecture Notes From Chicago: Precision Hormone And Brain Care In The Spotlight

May 10, 2025

High-level insights from A4M’s latest educational launches.

Chicago hosted the debut of two new clinical programs last weekend — Cognition 360: Where Innovation Meets Brain Health and the Hormone Dosing Therapy Masterclass — bringing together a dynamic group of practitioners for a weekend of advanced, systems-based education. Kudos to the many attendees who built on momentum from Spring Congress, continuing their training across back-to-back events.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern clinical practice, both courses delivered practical, protocol-driven content with direct relevance to patient care balancing innovation with immediate application. While the full scope of insights can’t be captured in one recap, the curated lecture notes below highlight some of the most thought-provoking, protocol-driven, and practice-elevating perspectives shared throughout the weekend.

Defining Longevity, Redefining Medicine: Standout Sessions From Spring Congress 2025

May 4, 2025

Practice-ready takeaways for advancing longevity-focused care.

Over 3,000 disruptive practitioners gathered in West Palm Beach last month, united by the goal of defining the standard for evidence-based, ethical, and effective longevity medicine. Focused on the future of aging care, A4M’s 33rd Annual Spring Congress provided a platform to advance how longevity medicine is practiced and applied in today’s clinical environments.

Across two action-packed days, sessions focused on what the industry demands now: sharper diagnostics, more individualized protocols, and faster translation of insight into action.

Between April 25-26, this signature A4M event showcased 100+ expert-led sessions, spanning hormone health, cognition, nutrition, precision diagnostics, sexual health, and more — all explored through the lens of innovative patient-centered care. From AI-driven stress management tools to hormonal mapping techniques for optimizing metabolic health, a panel of 50+ longevity leaders provided evidence-based protocols and practical solutions clinicians can implement immediately in their practice.

The medical momentum was palpable. Across every room, a shared understanding emerged: longevity medicine is no longer a niche; it’s at the core of how care is defined and delivered. The following takeaways reflect that shift – sessions that challenged assumptions, raised critical questions, and sparked real-time clinical changes.

We’re Not Programmed To Die — So What’s Really Driving Agi

We’re Not Programmed To Die — So What’s Really Driving Aging?

April 18, 2025

Aging is not a preordained program locked in our DNA – that’s one of the eye-opening messages Nobel laureate Venkatraman “Venki” Ramakrishnan delivered at the Milan Longevity Summit 2025. Ramakrishnan, a structural biologist renowned for uncovering the ribosome’s structure (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2009) and author of Why We Die, provided evidence-based insights into the biology of aging that debunked popularized “anti-aging” myths. In a field awash with hype and hope, his perspective, firmly grounded in evolutionary biology, challenges many mainstream longevity narratives while affirming where legitimate progress is being made.

From why evolution “does not care” about longevity to why no miracle cure for aging exists (yet), the Nobel laureate’s recent discussions provide a reality check on what science tells us about extending life. The main takeaway: Longevity science is advancing, but claims of age reversal require scrutiny, and the most potent tools at our disposal might just be the fundamentals often overlooked.
